OpenAI announced it is closing Sora, a short-form video app that went viral shortly after its launch six months ago, despite reaching one million downloads in under five days. The shutdown is part of OpenAI's broader strategy to reduce expenses and focus on high-productivity applications as it prepares for a potential IPO. The company also plans to consolidate its web browser, ChatGPT, and Codex apps into a single desktop app. Disney, which had planned to invest $1 billion and integrate its characters into Sora, respected OpenAI's decision to exit the video generation business.
